mom31257 Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Can anyone tell me some good places to look for prom dresses in the Atlanta area? Dd is taking a Cotillion class at a Christian school, so we need a dress. Consignment places would be awesome, or at least stores that are reasonable. Places that specialize in more modest dresses would be a huge plus! Thank you for any recommendations. We are on the south side, but are willing to drive to find something great.

Remudamom Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 (edited) I know who to ask. I'll get back to you. Ok, sent a message to my cousin. When she looks at her fb I bet she'll know of a place. Edited March 2, 2012 by Remudamom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runmiarun Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 I'll ask some friends on the southside. We're in the northwest side of the city but grew up on the southside. Check with Belles and Beaus in Fayetteville. They've been around since I was in HS 20+ years ago and have a large following. I'll get back to you.

Remudamom Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 How about Labels in Buckhead, Vinings, Susan Lee? All consignment shops, cousin says they are good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runmiarun Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Got some responses: *Trend Setters Salon in Wedowee, AL. Not too far of a drive. It's a consignment shop, but the poster said they had some gorgeous dresses. *Try the Junior League nearly new shop on Howell Mill. *Sounds crazy, but TJ Maxx and Marshalls have prices on that type of dresses that usually beat the consignment stores. And for the last military formal I went to I looked ALL over Savannah (including the mall, which I usually avoid) and finally walked through JC Penny on the way to may car... and BAM! Prom dresses were ridiculously low priced. I've never shopped at Penny's... but I did that day! I'll send more as I get them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

runmiarun Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 One more response: *There's a shop on the square here in Fayetteville. I hear it's nice but have not been myself. I shop at Clothes Less Traveled and sometimes, I've seen long dresses but not sure what they have right now. Their shop is in Peachtree City.

mom31257 Posted March 24, 2012 Author Share Posted March 24, 2012 One last tip from my southside friends:Try Upscale Resale in Newnan Thank you! We tried Upscale Resale but they didn't have any her size. They told us about The Pink Hangar between Newnan and Peachtree City, but they didn't have any she liked. They told us about Funky Trunk right down the street and she found this dress that she loves! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

astrid Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 This Yankee just has to know....what exactly is a Cotillion Class? I mean I know what a Cotillion is, at least in the abstract sense, but am wondering what one learns at a Cotillion Class. Is it like Charm School?

(sincerely wondering..:001_smile:.) astrid It is like Charm School in a way. She takes it a Christian school in the area. She has classes that cover Christian character and etiquette including formal table setting and dinner rules. She has started learning some ballroom dancing, too. She is assigned an escort(and actually has 2 because there are more boys than girls). In May there will be a formal dinner and dance. She figured it was the closest thing she could get to a prom. The school has university style classes that homeschoolers are allowed to attend, with core academics on MWF and electives on T and/or Th.
